Helping You Meet Louisiana Medical Waste Management

In Louisiana, there are 3 main bodies that govern the state’s regulations:

The responsibility of Louisiana healthcare employers

Private or federal healthcare employers in Louisiana have a legal duty under OSHA regulations to ensure employees are protected from exposure to infectious materials. Providing hand-washing facilities, personal protective equipment, hepatitis vaccines and training are just a few of the ways that employers can support their staff. Additionally, medical waste packaging and disposal must comply with strict labeling requirements, clearly marked as:

  • Potentially Infectious Biomedical Waste

  • Waste Classification

    In the State of Louisiana, medical waste is waste considered likely to be infectious by nature of what it is or how it may have been generated within healthcare practices. Examples include used “sharps”-hypodermic needles and syringes, IV needles, scalpel blades, and glass items; items containing or soaked with blood or certain other body fluids; human or animal organs or body parts; lab cultures that may contain disease-causing agents; and things like gloves, bedding, dressings, sponges, and other items that have been used in surgery, autopsy, or treatment of patients with certain contagious diseases.

  • Storage Requirements

    Louisiana state requirements mandate:

    Potentially infectious medical wastes must be stored in a secure manner. Compactors shall not be used for storage. Except for small quantities (defined as a single package containing less than 11 pounds of waste other than sharps or less than 2.2 pounds of sharps), wastes can be transported off the site where they were generated only by transporters permitted by the State Health Officer.

    Small quantity generators, including doctors’, dentists’, and veterinarians’ offices and private households, may transport small quantities of properly packaged and labeled wastes to approved large quantity generators, permitted storage facilities, or permitted treatment facilities.
